The Defender Conga Line of Vrolondia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Arano Iandra with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 28.475 billion Geldi enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ismair. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Geldi economy, worth a remarkable 2,090 trillion Elysiums a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,412 Elysiums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Decreased demand for toilets is saving the prison service a lot of money, the tightness of border controls in Vrolondia leave a little to be desired, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and Max Barry finally has time for writing books after NationStates was recently outlawed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vrolondia's national animal is the flying jellyfish🎐, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vrolondian Pantheon.

Vrolondia is ranked 74,372^nd in the world and 3,982^nd in Lazarus for Most Patriotic, with 18.83 flags saluted per person per day.
